Last Tuesday started out with a routine trip to the dentist for a check up, so I was rather shocked to exit the surgery minus two teeth, a wisdom tooth and the one next to it. “Bone loss,” the dentist had explained, “better to take them out.” Later in the week I was telling my

A radio presenter once asked me to interpret a caller’s dream in 10 seconds. It was a dream about a lost tooth. Could I do it in 10 seconds? What was my reply? This episode is about the art of asking the right questions rather than giving the right answers, and I show you how
